    摘要: To provide a vehicle operating pedal apparatus configured in such a manner that a magnet mounted on an operating pedal to detect the angle of rotation of the operating pedal resists being detached from the operating pedal. A vehicle operating pedal apparatus 10A includes: an operating pedal 12A pivotably supported by a support member; a magnet 58A used to detect the angle of rotation of the operating pedal 12A; a magnet holder 54A housing the magnet 58A in an engaged state; a first snap-fit portion 74A and a first mounting hole 78A configured to fix the magnet holder 54A to the operating pedal 12A with a pressing force in a Y direction; and a second snap-fit portion 76A and a second mounting hole 80A configured to fix the magnet holder 54A to the operating pedal 12A with a pressing force in a Z direction different from the Y direction.

    摘要: A pedal pad in an organ-type pedal device swings about a predetermined axis when stepped on by a driver's foot. A sensor unit outputs a signal corresponding to a swing angle of the pedal pad. A reaction force generation mechanism generates a reaction force against a driver's stepping force applied to the pedal pad. A first housing holds or covers at least one of a rotation shaft provided at the axis of the swinging of the pedal pad, the sensor unit, and the reaction force generation mechanism. A second housing is made of a rigid portion having a Young's modulus greater than that of the first housing or has the rigid portion at least in part. The second housing is configured to support a portion of the reaction force generation mechanism on one side opposite to the pedal pad by the rigid portion.

    摘要: An organ-type pedal device includes a housing attached to a vehicle body. A pedal pad of the pedal device is provided rotatably about a predetermined rotation axis with respect to the housing, and a stepped portion of the pedal pad is arranged above the rotation axis in a vertical direction of the vehicle. The pedal pad rotates in a forward direction in accordance with an increase of a pedaling force of the driver, and rotates in a backward direction in accordance with a decrease of the pedaling force of the driver. A sensor unit outputs an electric signal corresponding to a rotation angle of the pedal pad. A full-close stopper comes in contact with a lower part of the pedal pad with respect to the rotation axis, and prevents the pedal pad from rotating in the backward direction when the pedaling force of the driver is not applied thereto.

    摘要: A pedal pad includes a plate portion having a plate shape extending in a pedal extending direction and having a thickness in a plate thickness direction, and the pedal pad is rotatably movable about a pedal shaft center that is perpendicular to the pedal extending direction by a step-on operation of a driver to the plate portion from one side in the plate thickness direction. The plate portion has one end portion in the pedal extending direction positioned lower in the vehicle than an another end portion in the pedal extending direction in a non-stepping state in which the driver is not performing the step-on operation on the pedal pad. Furthermore, the one end portion of the plate shape of the plate portion extends in the pedal extending direction, more than a position of the pedal shaft.

    摘要: A vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes an electronic control unit and a pedal assembly. The electronic control unit switches from a powered off state to a powered on state during predetermined intervals. The pedal assembly includes pedal arm, a target, and a switch. The pedal arm moves between a plurality of positions. The target moves with the movement of the pedal arm. The target generates a magnetic field strength. The switch activates when the magnetic field strength of the target exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the switch activates, a signal is sent to the electronic control unit to activate the electronic control unit from the powered off state to the powered on state.

    摘要: An accelerator pedal device of the present invention includes: an accelerator pedal; a hysteresis generation mechanism that generates a hysteresis in pedal effort during a depression operation and a return operation of the accelerator pedal; a reaction force addition mechanism that adds a reaction force in a direction to push back the accelerator pedal; and a control unit that controls the drive of the reaction force addition mechanism in a manner that, with a predetermined target opening degree at which the accelerator pedal is depressed as a boundary, a ratio of change in the pedal effort in an opening degree range above the target opening degree becomes relatively larger than a ratio of change in pedal effort in an opening degree range below the target opening degree.

    摘要: A user-manipulable signal generating apparatus includes a base plate and an elongate pedal lever having first and second lever ends separated by a lever body. The first lever end is hingedly connected to the base plate. The second lever end is spaced apart from the base plate for pivotal movement with respect thereto. The lever body is configured to move pivotally between a predetermined home position and a maximum pivot position. An elongate resilient biasing beam has first and second beam ends longitudinally separated by a beam body. The first beam end is connected to the base plate. The second beam end is connected to the lever body. A sensor detects pivotal motion of the lever body and generate a signal responsive thereto. The beam body is biased toward an unflexed condition and, when in the flexed condition, urges the lever body in a return direction toward the home position.

    摘要: A pedal apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The pedal apparatus includes a pedal arm coupled to a pedal housing such that the pedal arm is rotated with respect to a first axis by an actuating force applied to a pedal pad disposed on a distal end of the pedal arm, a pressing member for applying a force to a proximal end of the pedal arm in response to the pedal arm being rotated, a pedal reaction force generating unit disposed between the pedal arm and the pressing member to generate a pedal reaction force corresponding to the actuating force, a first friction member disposed at the pressing member to contact the proximal end of the pedal arm, and a second friction member disposed at the proximal end of the pedal arm to contact an inner surface of the pedal housing.
